Automated Website Audit & Personalized Outreach with Lighthouse and GPT-4

This n8n workflow automates the process of auditing website performance using Google Lighthouse, generating personalized outreach messages based on the audit results with OpenAI's GPT-4, and managing the entire process through a Google Sheet.

What it does

This workflow streamlines the website auditing and outreach process through the following steps:

  1. Triggers Manually: The workflow is manually initiated, allowing for on-demand audits.
  2. Retrieves Website Data: It fetches a list of website URLs from a specified Google Sheet.
  3. Performs Lighthouse Audit: For each URL, it makes an HTTP request to a Lighthouse API (or similar service) to obtain a performance audit.
  4. Checks Audit Status: It checks if the Lighthouse audit was successful and if the performance score meets a predefined threshold (e.g., greater than 50).
  5. Generates Personalized Outreach (if score is low):
    • If the website's performance score is below the threshold, it extracts relevant audit details.
    • It then uses OpenAI's GPT-4 to generate a personalized outreach message, highlighting the identified performance issues and offering solutions.
  6. Updates Google Sheet:
    • If the audit is successful and the score is high, it updates the Google Sheet to reflect the "Audit Done - Good Score" status.
    • If the audit is successful but the score is low, it updates the Google Sheet with the "Audit Done - Low Score" status and includes the generated personalized outreach message.
    • If the audit fails, it updates the Google Sheet with an "Audit Failed" status.
  7. Delays for Rate Limiting: A Wait node is included to prevent hitting API rate limits, ensuring smooth operation, especially when processing multiple websites.

Prerequisites/Requirements

To use this workflow, you will need:

  • n8n Instance: A running n8n instance.
  • Google Sheets Account: A Google Sheets spreadsheet containing the list of website URLs to be audited.
  • Lighthouse API Endpoint: Access to a Lighthouse API (e.g., a self-hosted Lighthouse CI server, or a third-party service that provides Lighthouse reports via API). The workflow assumes an HTTP endpoint that returns Lighthouse audit data.
  • OpenAI API Key: An OpenAI API key with access to GPT-4 or a similar large language model for generating personalized outreach messages.

Setup/Usage

  1. Import the Workflow:
    • Download the provided JSON file for this workflow.
    • In your n8n instance, click "New" in the workflows section, then "Import from JSON" and upload the file.
  2. Configure Credentials:
    • Google Sheets Node (ID: 18): Configure your Google Sheets credentials. You'll need to specify the Spreadsheet ID and the Sheet Name where your website URLs are listed.
    • HTTP Request Node (ID: 19): Update the URL to your Lighthouse API endpoint. You may also need to configure any necessary authentication headers or query parameters for your Lighthouse API.
    • OpenAI Node (ID: 1250): Configure your OpenAI API key.
  3. Adjust Logic (Optional):
    • If Node (ID: 20): Modify the condition for the Lighthouse performance score if you want a different threshold for "good" vs. "low" scores.
    • Code Nodes (ID: 834): Review and adjust the JavaScript code in the "Code" nodes if you need to change how data is extracted from the Lighthouse report or how the prompt for OpenAI is constructed.
  4. Activate the Workflow: Once configured, activate the workflow.
  5. Run Manually: Since this workflow is triggered manually, you will need to click the "Execute Workflow" button to start the audit process.

Automate Dutch Public Procurement Data Collection with TenderNed

TenderNed Public Procurement What This Workflow Does This workflow automates the collection of public procurement data from TenderNed (the official Dutch tender platform). It: Fetches the latest tender publications from the TenderNed API Retrieves detailed information in both XML and JSON formats for each tender Parses and extracts key information like organization names, titles, descriptions, and reference numbers Filters results based on your custom criteria Stores the data in a database for easy querying and analysis Setup Instructions This template comes with sticky notes providing step-by-step instructions in Dutch and various query options you can customize. Prerequisites TenderNed API Access - Register at TenderNed for API credentials Configuration Steps Set up TenderNed credentials: Add HTTP Basic Auth credentials with your TenderNed API username and password Apply these credentials to the three HTTP Request nodes: "Tenderned Publicaties" "Haal XML Details" "Haal JSON Details" Customize filters: Modify the "Filter op ..." node to match your specific requirements Examples: specific organizations, contract values, regions, etc. How It Works Step 1: Trigger The workflow can be triggered either manually for testing or automatically on a daily schedule. Step 2: Fetch Publications Makes an API call to TenderNed to retrieve a list of recent publications (up to 100 per request). Step 3: Process & Split Extracts the tender array from the response and splits it into individual items for processing. Step 4: Fetch Details For each tender, the workflow makes two parallel API calls: XML endpoint - Retrieves the complete tender documentation in XML format JSON endpoint - Fetches metadata including reference numbers and keywords Step 5: Parse & Merge Parses the XML data and merges it with the JSON metadata and batch information into a single data structure. Step 6: Extract Fields Maps the raw API data to clean, structured fields including: Publication ID and date Organization name Tender title and description Reference numbers (kenmerk, TED number) Step 7: Filter Applies your custom filter criteria to focus on relevant tenders only. Step 8: Store Inserts the processed data into your database for storage and future analysis. Customization Tips Modify API Parameters In the "Tenderned Publicaties" node, you can adjust: offset: Starting position for pagination size: Number of results per request (max 100) Add query parameters for date ranges, status filters, etc. Add More Fields Extend the "Splits Alle Velden" node to extract additional fields from the XML/JSON data, such as: Contract value estimates Deadline dates CPV codes (procurement classification) Contact information Integrate Notifications Add a Slack, Email, or Discord node after the filter to get notified about new matching tenders. Incremental Updates Modify the workflow to only fetch new tenders by: Storing the last execution timestamp Adding date filters to the API query Only processing publications newer than the last run Troubleshooting No data returned?

🎓 How to transform unstructured email data into structured format with AI agent

This workflow automates the process of extracting structured, usable information from unstructured email messages across multiple platforms. It connects directly to Gmail, Outlook, and IMAP accounts, retrieves incoming emails, and sends their content to an AI-powered parsing agent built on OpenAI GPT models. The AI agent analyzes each email, identifies relevant details, and returns a clean JSON structure containing key fields: From – sender’s email address To – recipient’s email address Subject – email subject line Summary – short AI-generated summary of the email body The extracted information is then automatically inserted into an n8n Data Table, creating a structured database of email metadata and summaries ready for indexing, reporting, or integration with other tools. --- Key Benefits ✅ Full Automation: Eliminates manual reading and data entry from incoming emails. ✅ Multi-Source Integration: Handles data from different email providers seamlessly. ✅ AI-Driven Accuracy: Uses advanced language models to interpret complex or unformatted content. ✅ Structured Storage: Creates a standardized, query-ready dataset from previously unstructured text. ✅ Time Efficiency: Processes emails in real time, improving productivity and response speed. *✅ Scalability: Easily extendable to handle additional sources or extract more data fields. --- How it works This workflow automates the transformation of unstructured email data into a structured, queryable format. It operates through a series of connected steps: Email Triggering: The workflow is initiated by one of three different email triggers (Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, or a generic IMAP account), which constantly monitor for new incoming emails. AI-Powered Parsing & Structuring: When a new email is detected, its raw, unstructured content is passed to a central "Parsing Agent." This agent uses a specified OpenAI language model to intelligently analyze the email text. Data Extraction & Standardization: Following a predefined system prompt, the AI agent extracts key information from the email, such as the sender, recipient, subject, and a generated summary. It then forces the output into a strict JSON structure using a "Structured Output Parser" node, ensuring data consistency. Data Storage: Finally, the clean, structured data (the from, to, subject, and summarize fields) is inserted as a new row into a specified n8n Data Table, creating a searchable and reportable database of email information. --- Set up steps To implement this workflow, follow these configuration steps: Prepare the Data Table: Create a new Data Table within n8n. Define the columns with the following names and string type: From, To, Subject, and Summary. Configure Email Credentials: Set up the credential connections for the email services you wish to use (Gmail OAuth2, Microsoft Outlook OAuth2, and/or IMAP). Ensure the accounts have the necessary permissions to read emails. Configure AI Model Credentials: Set up the OpenAI API credential with a valid API key. The workflow is configured to use the model, but this can be changed in the respective nodes if needed. Connect the Nodes: The workflow canvas is already correctly wired. Visually confirm that the email triggers are connected to the "Parsing Agent," which is connected to the "Insert row" (Data Table) node. Also, ensure the "OpenAI Chat Model" and "Structured Output Parser" are connected to the "Parsing Agent" as its AI model and output parser, respectively. Activate the Workflow: Save the workflow and toggle the "Active" switch to ON. The triggers will begin polling for new emails according to their schedule (e.g., every minute), and the automation will start processing incoming messages. --- Need help customizing?
